Riverman – an act in which Kalin Mihov dedicatedly repeats the simple act of hardly rubbing a dense stone into another larger, softer sandstone every day in the span of a week, until it leaves a significant mark on the surface and body of the second, just as running water would do over it in the course of decades.

The project evokes a multilayered set of interpretations, both inwards and outwards looking – it represents the humanistic idea that man can challenge the elements (water, earth, wind, fire), that there is no difference between them and that man is an element himself – something Mihov sincerely believes. Or it can also be seen as a metaphor and an opposition to the hectic, fully optimized, and mentally exhausting world of today, questioning what is the significance of one's efforts in everyday activities. Riverman was shown in the 1m² Art exhibition project, TaM Veliko Tarnovo, Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria (2023), curated by Martina Yordanova.
